Sitting proudly atop a historic, landmark site in Remuera sits The Hill by Fletcher Living — an innovative new development redefining modern living in Auckland. This thoughtfully planned newfound community features 358 meticulously designed architectural residences spanning apartments, detached houses and terraces, all situated on an elevated site that offers uninterrupted northern and western vistas.
The location, steeped in heritage, was previously part of the Ellerslie Racecourse — the vast embankment once the place of the Great Northern Steeplechase, with years of racing legacy adding a layer of historical significance to the contemporary elegance of The Hill.

The master plan, crafted with precision and a careful eye to the future, boasts abundant verdant green spaces, with pathways and gardens seamlessly blending into the topography to create a harmonious environment that feels one million miles from its central locale. While, when it comes to the dwellings dotted across the vast site, the architectural prowess of Warren & Mahoney, Brewer Davidson, and environmental consultants Boffa Miskell shines through in every detail, celebrating the unique landscape and enhancing the experience of home.
Positioned between the established neighbourhoods of Remuera and Ellerslie, The Hill benefits from both quaint, local charm and the convenience of central city living. The development has been designed to cater to a diverse audience, with a range of living options from three to five-bedroom homes to vibrant apartments for luxury later living. The elevated outlook provides iconic views across Auckland’s maunga, creating a refined sense of serene seclusion amidst the bustling city.
On the top plateau, a trinity of apartment buildings make the most of sweeping vistas and effortless living, while, across the embankment sit tiers of bespoke standalone and terraced homes, with the Vivid Living apartments, which offer the best of active retirement, running trackside.
Residents will be afforded the duality of village life and urban vibrancy, with community walkways, shared spaces, and plans of a café to foster a sense of connection. The meticulous planning extends to practicalities, with excellent connectivity via the Southern Motorway ensuring ease of travel north and south, although with so much on your doorstep, there will be little reason to go far at all.
The dining options in the vicinity are plentiful, from Remuera neighbourhood eatery Sìso’s warm hospitality and delectable Mediterranean fare to nearby Knead on Benson, which is home to some of the city’s best baked goods and brunch dishes, to Manzo and Spiga turning out epic steak and Italian respectively. You’ll also find a sophisticated set of stores in Remuera, from fashion boutiques to designer furniture and homewares, as well as the Remuera Golf Course, Remuera Rackets Club, and the Orakei Basin Loop Track nearby.
The Hill represents a new style of living, where heritage meets innovation, and understated elegance defines the everyday. The thoughtful integration of nature and architecture, combined with grandstand views and well-appointed dwellings, makes The Hill a beacon of contemporary living in Auckland — offering a new perspective on a life lived well.
